Chapter 48: Fools Have Their Own Luck

Mother Ye’s eyes lit up: “Is that possible?”

“Of course.”

Father Ye and Ye Meng Zhen did not say anything, but in their hearts they were just as curious and hopeful as Mother Ye.

Even Ye Zhi Huan, who looked like he did not care, quietly sat up a little straighter, and his ears perked up.

“Before, Mr. Ye was burdened by Peach Blossom Calamity, so the Glabella Palace between his brows was dark, and he met with tribulation. Now that the tribulation has passed, his face has also changed. The Glabella Palace is slightly flushed, his eyes hold water, and the outer corners of his eyes are a little red and tilted up. These are all signs of the Red Luan Star transit.”

Joy flashed over Ye Meng Zhen’s face: “So that means my brother is about to meet my real sister-in-law?”

“You could say that. But when I look at Mr. Ye, his Red Luan Star is very bright, and his marriage line has already formed. I am afraid Mr. Ye has already met his true fated match before. It is just that he was dazzled by that bad peach blossom and did not notice the person right in front of him.”

“What?” As soon as Du An Rao said this, Ye Meng Zhen and Mother Ye both cried out.

Then they turned to stare nervously at Ye Zhi Huan: “Brother, your sister-in-law is already by your side. Do you remember anything?”

Ye Zhi Huan was stunned. It took him a long time to squeeze out a few words: “…No.”

Ever since he started liking Li Qian Xi, and wrongly guessed that she might also like him, his whole heart and mind had been filled with her. How could he have noticed any other woman around him?

Ye Meng Zhen knew that very well. She snorted and said with disgust: “You ignore what you should pay attention to, and keep staring at what you shouldn’t. You deserve to be single for life.”

Mother Ye became even more worried: “So the person already came to him, and he still did not notice. Won’t he miss her then?”

Would her son really have to grow old alone?

“That won’t happen. If she is his true fated match, then it won’t be that easy to miss her. It’s just…”

“Just what?”

“Just that what we call a true fated match only means that in all kinds of ways, their auras match, and their personalities complement each other, so they are easily drawn to one another. But whether they can finally end up together still depends on how they get along. You can’t force it, or pushing too hard will backfire.”

Once she said this, Mother Ye and Ye Meng Zhen, who had been itching to help find the girl and push them together, instantly calmed down.

“Alright, alright, we won’t interfere. We’ll let the two of them figure it out themselves.”

After saying that, Mother Ye and Ye Meng Zhen gave Ye Zhi Huan a look that said they wanted to help but could not. They seemed very regretful.

Ye Zhi Huan: “…”

[I don’t even know who this person is yet, and you are already calling us a little couple. Isn’t that a bit too early?!]

Seeing that the Ye family had taken her words to heart, Du An Rao quietly let out a breath.

This so-called true fated match was not something she had made up.

In that fake and real young lady story, near the end, several years after the male and female leads got married, Jiang Yi Ming suddenly got news about the Ye siblings from an old acquaintance.

By that time, Ye Meng Zhen’s parents had already passed away, and she had to work to earn money while taking care of her brother, who was still a vegetable.

Luckily, there was a woman who had always stayed by the siblings’ side. When she was out working, this woman helped her take care of Ye Zhi Huan, so at least she had no worries at home.

After investigating, Jiang Yi Ming learned that this woman had lost her own family even earlier than the Ye siblings. She was all alone and had secretly liked Ye Zhi Huan for a long time.

When he was in a car accident, and his family fell apart, when everyone else avoided them, she was the first to stand up and help Ye Meng Zhen. Because of that, Ye Meng Zhen respected and trusted her very much.

At that time, Jiang Yi Ming did not even know what he was thinking when he told this story to Li Qian Xi.

Li Qian Xi froze for a moment, then pretended to shed tears, saying that as long as someone was taking care of the siblings, she could feel at ease.

It was as if she was not the one who had stopped answering Ye Meng Zhen’s calls and cut her off as soon as she learned that Ye Zhi Huan might never wake up.

Her reaction was exactly what Jiang Yi Ming had expected, yet it still left him feeling empty.

To be fair, although Du An Rao disliked Li Qian Xi, her opinion of this male lead, Jiang Yi Ming, was not too bad.

It was not that he was especially kind or upright. It was just that compared to all the others in that story, who were all a bit crazy, this male lead at least felt like a real person with flesh and blood. His choices still made sense.

Jiang Yi Ming was the Jiang family’s illegitimate son. In such a messy family, just to stay alive and climb upward, he had given up too many things, including his feelings and his true heart.

When he finally got everything he had always wanted, he discovered that the things he had already lost had become a luxury he could no longer reach.

Just like between him and Li Qian Xi. There were feelings there, but that love had long been mixed with interest, schemes, doubt, and quarrels. It had become something twisted.

In the end, what kept them tied together was not love, but reality.

Because of this, he secretly envied the true love that Ye Zhi Huan had received, something that Li Qian Xi only sneered at.

Now that Ye Zhi Huan’s Death Tribulation had passed, his future fate should also change, just like her second brother’s had.

So Du An Rao wanted to give that unknown girl who had loved him in secret a chance. She also wanted to give Ye Zhi Huan a chance.

She wanted to see if, without that family tragedy and car accident, the two of them would still end up together.

Of course, it was only a chance. Whether they were truly suitable for each other, and whether they would fall in love in the future, was not something an outsider like Du An Rao could control.

That was why she did not speak too firmly about it. She did not want to accidentally push them into becoming a pair of enemies.

After reading this part of the story along with Du An Rao, Du Yu Xi looked at Ye Zhi Huan with a slightly strange expression.

[Is this what people mean when they say… fools have their own luck?]

Xi Jing Yue’s focus, however, was on Jiang Yi Ming. Thinking of the hint of praise in Du An Rao’s voice when she talked about this male lead, he felt a little sour for no reason.

After checking Ye Zhi Huan’s injuries and eating a bite of this messy love-drama gossip, Du An Rao and the others left in a good mood.

As soon as she got into Xi Jing Yue’s car, Du An Rao heard her phone buzz. When she opened it, she found it was a transfer from her fourth sister.

“Sis, why did you suddenly send me money?”

“It’s from Ye Meng Zhen. She asked me to pass it to you,” Du Yu Xi said, glancing up at Li Zhao Yang in the front passenger seat.

“She said it is the money for those gifts your brother sent to Miss Li. Someone just returned it. They used it to pay you for reading their fortunes today.”

Du An Rao looked surprised: “So fast?”

Over the past two days, Ye Zhi Huan had sent quite a lot of gifts to Li Qian Xi. If you really counted them, it should not have been done so quickly. The Ye family did not truly want this money either. They just casually gave a rough number.

Li Zhao Yang understood that. The reason he had asked the Ye family to list the gifts was mainly so he could keep some proof for the future when they exposed Li Qian Xi.

After noticing what the Ye family was thinking, he hesitated for a moment, then made his own decision and added a bit more money before sending it over.

Who would have thought that after going around in circles, the one who gained from it would be Du An Rao instead.
